Until the first Gulf War Iraq was arguably the most advanced, secular country in the Arab world. Saudi Princes and anyone with the money would go there for medical treatment because it was the best in the area.
Of couse Saddam might decide he didn't like you and torture your family to death, but that's another matter.
He was an American asset until he invaded Kuwait. That was either a misjudgedment or the US set him up.
The 03 invasion was a classic war of aggression. We murdered Iraq.
Hitler was also good for the Germans in the beginning... look at what he did in the end. Sure the US fucked up etc. but that doesn't mean you should praise dirty dictators.
I wasn't saying Saddam was a good guy. I was saying he was a monster when he worked for the US and a monster when the US decided he had turned on them by invading kuwait. I'm saying that the US invasion (and the sanctions before that) turned a viable and livable country into a slaughterhouse. (And an Iranian ally, for that matter.)
All the countries in the Middle East are dictatorships. I think the advantage that Iraq had was that it was the most secular.
The secular part doesnt mean anything when you see what kind of brutal dictator he turned out to be. Saddam was the dog of America the CIA helped him to takeover power in Iraq so yes I know the real reason for the 2003 war wasn't 'Americans are angels that came to liberate the Iraqis' Yes, most of the countries in the Middle East are dictatorships but Saddam was the worst for his own people. It is wrong to look at this issue only from a western perspective *he was our ally* no, he was a criminal
you talk as if it is only america that supports and allies criminals. All security council countries give support to whoever serves their interests regardless of how they rule. So stop talking like its only the US that does this cause its not.
I wasn't talking like only the US allies itself with criminals, etc. I wasn't talking in generalities. I was talking about a particular case: the invasion and occupation of Iraq, and America's relationship to Saddam.
Criticising the US or any other country doesn't mean you are accusing it of being the worst offender.
Hu? There is more democracy there then any other time in Iraq's history. Naturally, the Muslim world is not very hospitable to freedom. You need to respect people who hold different views. Even support their rights to say things you find offensive. These r not traits found in abundance among the followers of Islam.
And the servants of (Allah) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, "Peace!"; (Quran 25:63)
If you are this bigoted there is nothing I can say.
You are bound and VERY determined to see to it that all of humankind continues to slaughter each other over money, power & silly bedtime stories about ghosts and spooks.

Many of America's allies are criminals, God knows. You're misreading me. I'm talking about the invasion, not Saddam.

HEY! What you are saying CREATES more WAR! I was TOTALLY against these invasions! I worked hard to STOP & then END them!
You are condemning ME for this?
There are TENS OF MILLIONS of US citizens of ALL races fighting the US regime!
You are openly admitting that you ARE just as bad as Cheney, Bush, Pat Robertson & the rest of the war mongers!
In the end you will discover that their is ONLY one "race", the HUMAN RACE!
If we don't work TOGETHER, these evil people will WIN!

Believe whatever you want. There are no laws against your stupidity or ignorance...yet.
Your very attitude shows you are a sick person. I imagine you liked torturing animals when you were little and that no one liked you in school.
Still, you should rethink being a fascist.

That's enough time to prepare for the war with Iran. Talk is cheap & the written pact is just a piece of paper.

If the Iraq government gets too uppity, they'll find a drone bomb fall into their meeting, advertised as a terrorist attack.

If you EVER thought that thew US would EVER leave their 22 permanent bases in Iraq, you are either asleep, naive or just plain stupid.
Are there still US troops in Germany?
How about in Japa? Hmmmmm.
How about in South Korea?
Are there US troops in Panama?
This is all simply propaganda.
Within 3 years the US will be under martial law itself!
